Never Gone

By Denise Janette Bruneau

Twenty-five-year-old Ellie Beaufort returns to Guntersville, Alabama to live with her father and teach high school biology, hoping for a fresh start. But when her father dies unexpectedly, Ellie discovers a truth that shakes her world: she was adopted. Already carrying the ache of loss and unanswered questions, she must also face Tucker Jackson, the high school sweetheart who once broke her heart and has now returned home after walking away from the NFL draft to care for his parents.

Tucker still loves Ellie and longs for a second chance. Through intercepted text messages, he gains a hidden window into her heart and slowly helps her search for family, connection, and healing. But when Ellie learns the truth, betrayal threatens to break them again. In this heartfelt story, Ellie and Tucker discover what it means to forgive, press on, and love unconditionally.
